Palin Gets Pranked by Canadian Radio Station.

1112008

In a prank call lasting about six minutes, Governor Palin believes she is talking to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. I guess Palin went “rogue.” And obviously they don’t vet their calls.

MONTREAL – A Quebec comedy duo notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state has reached Sarah Palin, convincing the Republican vice-presidential nominee she was speaking with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

In the roughly six-minute telephone interview released Saturday, Palin and the pranksters known as the Masked Avengers discuss politics, pundits, and the perils of hunting with Vice-President Dick Cheney.

Throughout the conversation, there are plenty of clues that something’s amiss.

He identifies French singer and actor Johnny Hallyday as his special adviser to the U.S., singer Stef Carse as Canada’s prime minister and Quebec comedian and radio host Richard Z. Sirois as the provincial premier.

What a colossal, embarrasing PR disaster just 3 days out! Wonder how McCain will take it?

UPDATE: A full transcript is available on Daily Kos for those of you who can’t bring yourselves to listen to the whole thing, which is impossible to do without palms on face. Here’s a portion of it: (FNS is fake Nicholas Sarkozy and SP is Sarah Palin)

FNS: I just want to be sure, I don’t’ quite understand the phenomenon “Joe the Plumber,” that’s not your husband, right?
SP: Mmhmm, that’s not my husband but he’s a normal American who just works hard and doesn’t want government to take his money.

FNS: Yes, yes, I understand, we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France, it’s called, “Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit, oui.”
SP: Right. That’s what it’s all about, is the middle class, and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.

FNS: I seen a bit about NBC even Fox News wasn’t an ally, an ally, sorry, about as much as usual.
SP: Yeah that’s what we’re up against.

FNS: I must say, Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life, you know, Hustler’s “Nailin Palin.”
SP: Oh, good, thank you. Yes.

The part where the wife wrote a song for her, ends with ‘youre a pig’.. cochon in french is pig.. i couldn’t understand the earlier part so i can’t translate. but cochon.. no question.. clearly he called barbie a pig..🙂

Yes, this counts as foreign interference with the campaign. I hope they don’t turn around those Alaskan nukes to point them at their other neighbours. You know, the ones who spell neighbours with an extra letter…

canada(13:31:42) :

On behalf of the two frisky fellas from Quebec, I apologize. They were not aware of the the possibility Mr. Bush could now attack our home and native land. Please just ignore it and we are so sorry……teehee

…and we look forward to having our Prime Minister, freshly re-elected by 22% of eligible voters, working along with our great neighbour to the south and north

Oh. My. God. also

Mine Guy(13:34:59) :

Wow, talk about dumb. This would be funny, except that Ms. Palin has now said that the US is at war with Iran. Given what has come up during her run as veepee she should really be removed and replaced in AK, she lied and should be held accountable.

marksmyword aka Barrel McRaven Palin(13:36:17) :

Uh oh! They’re on her enemies list now.

Don’t these people have some way of verifying who they’re talking to? Does that mean any Joe the Plumber can call up and pretend to be someone important? That’s scary!

kangham(13:37:00) :

She could have saved it when revealed it was a prank by playing along. But, no, she chewed out her assistant… probably going to shoot her from a helicopter.

From my ass, I can see Belgium. Love me some Canadian humor.

1112008

Rob in Santa Cruz, Ca(13:37:09) :

Very very funny, but I don’t think this is a PR problem for her at all. Her supporters will be angry at the ‘dirty trick’ and her opponents are…well…opponents already.

I am sure impressed, though, that the guy could string her along that long, while slipping in increasing outrageous comments the way he did….that takes talent and a quick mind.

1112008

Marty (VA) Hussein McLoser Songbird(13:37:13) :

Obama is talking.. would be funny if he heard about it and made a comment it was nice sarkosy called her..

Wish I knew which McPain aide gave that phone number to those guys, and I bet Bible Spice does too! Those guys should get an award from thankful Americans!

todd palin(13:39:40) :

Okay you folks have gone too far this time. Reporting the ethics investigations findings to wit the guilt of my wife, was bad enough, then you had to smear my child bride mother daughter and her Hockey beau, and then her $$ wardrobe and the uncle teds court stuff and then her wish to be the prez and what next…. nailing palin in hustler..did that french dude really say that….(still takin; as todd) where can I get a copy?

Oh my gawd, that was hilarious and painful to listen to. Even more so if you know the references in French.
And she didn’t catch the reference to Nailin’ Paylin, the “edgy biography”? That was so funny!

1112008

portland oregon native(13:42:43) :

Is this for real?
It is hilarious and I love it! Sarah is such a dim wit.
Now get out there and work and vote folks so these idiots do NOT get elected!

john Mccain(13:44:44) :

My friends, we are not going to let a little fun ruin our historical march to power. Sarah is resting now and the rest of her family are , as usual, flying somewhere they were not invited to..Cindy passed the phone to Sarah by mistake as the caller ID was in French so she assumed Sarcozy was on the line. Remember to vote…

CO Almost Native(13:47:57) :

It’s hard to type while I’m snickering…

The prank is on Huffington Post and Politico; her staff (minus the aide, I suppose) said Her Highness was “mildly amused”. It’s only a matter of time before this shows up on network news-

Must go forward this on to more friends (heh heh…maybe all my dear Repug relatives)

Recently overheard at McGrumpy HQ

McG… What’s this crap about Barbie being punked?
McG lemming… Yes Sir. she was indeed punked by a radio station in Canada.
McG.., Well, god damn.. This is rediculous. This is insane. This is war.. I want patriots pointed at Canada and 4 battalions sent there immediately.
McG lemming… Sir, it was only a joke and i don’t think you can go to war with Canada, you’re not president.
McG… You disobeying an order soldier??? I told you want you do, and you don’t question me, you do it. I’m tired of the torture in Nam, and it’s about time we fix it. We’re invading Canada at dawn.
McG lemming.., Sir, this isn’t vietman, and it’s not 1964 and it was a joke.
McG… MPs, arrest this traitor.. He needs to be shot. He’s a commie traitor.
McG lemming.. Sir, ummm.. did you take your pills today? You know how you are without your pills..!
McG.. You dare disobey me..

He leaps at the lemming.. and misses and hits the floor.

McG lemming… Will someone get me Dr. Giggles.. He needs his medication STAT..

Michele (13:38:36) :

You guys are much better, more dedicated people than I am. I simply can’t listen to her for 6 minutes straight, even if it is hilarious, so I’ll have to just live the highlights through you.
————————————–

I could only listen for a minute. To me it is just too embarrassing. I just can’t take any more of this. Below is a transcript link just up. But I can’t read it. This just makes me all too uncomfortable. How could her communications handlers have ever allowed something this harebrained to happen? This is like watching an episode of “I Love Lucy” on some kind of political LSD. Can anyone make this stuff up?

FNS: Yes, yes, I understand, we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France, it’s called, “Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit, oui.”
SP: Right. That’s what it’s all about, is the middle class, and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.

FNS: I must say, Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life, you know, Hustler’s “Nailin Palin.”
SP: Oh, good, thank you. Yes.

FNS: That was really edgy.
SP: [Laughs] Well good.
—————————————————–
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! This did NOT happen! Somebody please help me! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I can’t believe she has never heard of Johnny Holiday!!!! Hilarious!!!! They gave it away a minute into it and she is so culturally OBTUSE that she doesn’t know….

1112008

Deborah(13:56:28) :

Apart from her utter and obvious cluelessness, I am upset by her lack of formality. It almost sounds as if she is chewing gum. ‘Hi, It’s Sarah!’ ?? This is what she thinks a conversation with a foreign head of state should sound like? She calls him Nicholas? It’s really tremendously embarrassing.

1112008

SoCal Bob(13:56:30) :

I almost lost it when they asked if Joe the plumber was her husband. Everyone knows the first dude doesn’t work.

1112008

sosad(13:56:38) :

Time to pass this on to some republicons that were still clinging to the Idea she had a brain ….

Apparently pranking is making a comeback on both sides even in Alaska.

After driving to the post office yesterday, I noticed someone stuck an ‘I love Sarah’ magnet on my car next to my ‘Alaska for Obama’ sign and ‘No Pebble Mine’ sticker. Some Alaskans have a deep seated need to shove how much they ‘love Sarah’ down our anti-Palin crowd’s throats.

1112008

SMR(14:04:55) :

Does Sarah the Sycophant not realize that France is socialist? “You’re a good example for us here?”

Take it and run with it Obama campaign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1112008

BigPete(14:04:58) :

The funniest part, is that France is more Socialist than we could ever be!

Sarah you are a BIG CROUTON.

1112008

Bobg(14:05:05) :

I wonder how many people got fired over that one. Note to Canada-Neither Alaska or the lower 48 want her. Would you consider political asylum for her in your country after the election?

1112008

SMR(14:06:04) :

@tspey — some Alaskans realllllllyyyyy suck. There’s just no way around it.

Rob in Santa Cruz (13:37:09)

I’ve worked on a ton of campaigns, mostly as the Press Secretary. If I had been in the room when that call ended I would have quietly opened the door, gone to the parking lot and duct taped my lips to the tail pipe of an idling car.

With three days to go all you want is no screw ups. The message is now distilled down to the bare bones.

McCain: He’ll raise your taxes. Grrr…I’ll fight for you.
Obama: Will you be better off four years from now? It’s time for change. Together we can do it.
Biden: McCain is a good guy but he’s embraced the Bush Agenda and it’s time for a new direction.
Palin: He’s a Socialist. Joe the Plumber. Joe Six Pack.

Not only is this “off message” but it cuts to the heart of her biggest weakness – foreign policy experience. Even if it HAD been Sarkozy, would that be the conversation you’d want her to have? Plus, he’s freakin’ Socialist!

I doubt the gaffe will change any voter’s mind. That’s not the point.

The point is that in the last remaining hours, she is going to be a laughing stock across radio and TV.

Trust me, not the way a campaign wants to play it out.

1112008

CO Almost Native(14:12:09) :

I left a comment on CNN below the Obama’s aunt story- and asked if anyone had heard Palin’s prank call. I’m hoping CNN will pick up the event:)

BigPete, bobg, et al- I am applauding your humor, when I am not dabbing my eyes with a Kleenex from laughing so hard.

1112008

Lulu(14:12:35) :

OMG. I am still in shock over this prank. Palin really thinks the sophisticated President of France would speak like that to her???? I guess if she’s used to it, it shows you what passes for normal chitchat among GOP elected officials. Maybe that’s how Ted S. speaks to her….She is such an embarrassment. Seriously (I’m not trying to stir something up), I don’t think Palin could have really graduated from college.

Sorry, on behalf of Canada, I regret to say that our track record on taking US citizens as refugees is not so hot recently. You’re going to have to convince the Refugee Board that her persecution on the basis of political belief (?) is more credible than that of a conscientious objector to the Iraq war. Oh, the shame.

Sarah’s never met a head of state, so she thinks that they behave just like those whose heads are in a state (from toking).

Kos has this call as a transcript now. The more I hear it/read about it, the funnier it gets. This has really made my day.

Susie in Jersey(14:25:13) :

I can’t open the link, either here or on the Daily Kos! The link is blocked and I can’t figure out how to open it. Eventually, I’ll get it.

Normally, I would be with the poster who can’t listen to her, but to hear this I’d suck it up.

Cassie Jeep Pike Palin (Wish I were Trout)(14:25:41) :

I listened to this while skyping to others…it is unbelievably stupid in that she actually F L I R T S over the phone, without the wink, wink! She is so unbelievably unaware that she fails to get the hints: like” Joe the Plumber” is like “Marcel the man with the bread under his armpits”….is she DAFT?

I choked on my apple cider….now I need wine!

Working NC blue! Had lunch in Cary, NC….oops, Obama office nextdoor! Had to stop in and say “Hey….we’re in Durham tomorrow at Obama HQ.

Note: Obama folks are so good, so friendly, so nice, so comforting!

Likely will have little time to post from tomorrow on, busy doing the “Obama thing”. But I’ll check in when I can.

We’ve voted…if you need to do it, go early on 11/4. I love the “early vote” it gives me the freedom to “man the polls!”

Stay strong, be resolute, fear not, and vote Obama!

The country—what is left of it—belongs to us…we will rebuild it right. You will help. We will prevail…and America will reclaim her position on the global stage.

Oh, SP doesn’t even know what socialism is. I laughed so much at this. Did I hear it correctly and did he say he could see Belgium from his ass?

Hi there,
sorry to get off topic but take a look at this when you have some time.

In an interview today, Audette told The Canadian Press it wasn’t easy setting up the interview with Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s running mate, and described the accomplishment as the pair’s biggest triumph to date.

“It really took a lot of work,” he said.

“We had to go through the Secret Service, the people in her entourage. It’s the biggest coup so far. We’re proud to add (this prank) to our top hits.”

It took the pair, known for securing surreptitious interviews with celebrities, politicians and heads of state, five days to set up the call, Audette said. The secret to getting powerful people on the line? Time and persistence.

“I wanted to see how (Palin) was on an intellectual level,” Audette said, comparing the latest prank to the duo’s crank call with pop idol Britney Spears.

“You can see that she’s, well, not really brilliant.”

1112008

Halcrow(14:35:28) :

It’s now on Bloomberg, The Canadian Press, AFP, Associated Press, Washington Post, USA Today, BBC and about another 170 national and international news sources.

Alaska Report has become one of my must-see sites this campaign. Perhaps if I’d have found it earlier — and if many other Alaskans had as well — we wouldn’t be having these discussions, so not sure if it’s a good thing or bad thing…

@Cassie Jeep — Can they wear pins on polling premises? Some states don’t allow it, so just wondering.

Re: McCain’s anger. He has had enough of the good gov by now. And this is just one more sign of how “prepared” she is to be VP.

You KNOW that he is totally embarrassed by Sarah…if nothing else because he sees himself as entitled American royalty and….Sarah and Todd are just two backwoodsy folk from Mat-Su Valley…Truly, I think he and Cindy have been metaphorically holding their noses around the Palins the last two months.

_________________________________________
Don’t know the full truth about this, but I think it was Roland Martin of CNN who said he has listeners who are spreading the word not to wear T’s or pins, but they can’t be stopped from voting because of it.

I almost wish I lived in a state that had early voting. I think I’d make a tape of my fave Obama tunes and make the waiting line a party line. Of course, that could get me booted, but why not have some fun with like-minded thinkers in those long lines?

1112008

knikgoose HUSSEIN!! justaskin(14:49:17) :

From the start of that, I kept expecting her to say “Excuse me? Can you repeat that?”, but NO, not once! She just kept prattling on like it was a fan on the phone,…giggle, giggle.
I kept thinking, that she HAD to be onto it, especially when he said he liked to kill things, and then when he mentioned “Nailin’ Palin”, but NO, she didn’t even ask him to repeat it!
Maybe she couldn’t really hear them,..I ‘m sorry,…having a hard time believing she’s (or anybody,…especially a woman) is this dumb.

BTW, on Canadian news last night, apparently loads of canadians were streaming into the US starting Thursday night to help campaign for Obama.

The only piece of foreign knowledge she demonstrated in that piece was knowing that Sarkozy had recently married a beautiful woman. [Sounded like she couldn’t remember Carla Bruni’s name though.]

Not knowing the name of Canada’s Prime Minister is pretty bad. Not that I did, but then I live on the other side of the planet and don’t manage any trade agreements with Canada… O.o

@Goalie —

We were all set to take a trip past March to NM and AZ to check out & buy some land we’d been considering. Then came the news that we were being repatriated. Sigh. So, we put down all our hard-earned-saved money on this house thinking we’d be here for 3-5 years. Now we’re having a hard time selling. Of course. Cuz the economy is sucking. Brand new house, still under builder’s warranty. Brand new lawn, fence, landscaping, & much more. Not even any looks for the past 2 months.

But once we sell and get some (not all!) of the money we put into it back we are going questing again for a place in NM or AZ mountains! Perhaps we will all keep in touch here long after election day (though probably not as often as we all skulk back to our real lives) and I will be able to look you up when we do our property-hunting trip.

I know about a college where, where the students have found a dumb prof. They say nonsense or offthetopic outrageous things in class (like report of Hustler story above.. notice she’s still not getting it)). Seems very similar. We already knew prof in question was dimmest bulb in program.

This call is simply more proof that Palin is COMPLETELY prepared to be POTUS at any moment…NOT. If she can get punk’d that easily, imagine what could happen if she accepted calls with a more sinister motive. Palin should not be allowed to be on the same continent with the nuclear codes.

I’d say at this point in the campaign he’ll just roll his eyes and sigh.

I’d say he’s gonna be pretty red-faced mad. Flailing air quotes……….

He’s gonna be mad and…..blame it on Obama or Obama’s campaign and demand a apology…it’s standard, blame it on Obama… Then he will demand Obama get a apology from the the 2 Canadians! That’s how NERVY this mcLame is!!!😦

Umm, let’s say you’re the veep candidate and you get a call from the head of a country — maybe France as an example. Wouldn’t you call the presidential candidate’s team and let them know before you take the call? So now McCain knows that she will take a call from any foreign leader without his clearance. Rogue indeed.

I can sense a McCain in the Membrane on Countdown with KO on this one!!! I imagine Rachel will have something to say about this as well.

A lot of Canadians know about the “Canada, my Ass, it’s Alaska’s gas!” sign that she used to have on her office wall, so,…she’s having good relations with who?
I’m surprised she knew who Sarkozy is!

But how did she miss “Marcel the guy with bread in his armpit”?

The black phone isn’t ringing, but her coat goes open and 2012 is there…!
I like the dinosaur that walks by sometimes 8)

When he mentions he wants to go hunting by helicopter…however, what he says in French matters… “Like we say in French, au pour le tuer les babie focques aussi” [Translation: to kill baby seals, also][*phocque/-seal, sounds like fuck], that’s more pointed than stating afterwards about not hunting with Cheney. [oh she’s a good shot‚ frick, I’ll bet]
The song that hot Carla the top model wrote for her, “de rouge les levres sur un cochon” [Translation: red lipstick on a pig] then he sings ‘it’s his life, joe the plumber…’, they’re referencing a popular rocker from Quebec, Bon Jovi’s ‘It’s My Life’.
‘Sarkozy’ says ‘Loved the documentary they made of your life, you know, ‘ustler’s Nailin’ Pailin’. ‘Ohhh good, thank you’, she responds. ‘That was really edgy’ they respond back. OMG.
I must say, Governor, you’ve been pranked…

Subtle as a sledge hammer. A lesson in how to be nice, even though you don’t understand squat, from Sarah Palin.

Think of it though, she did know which country he represented shhhh……seems impromptu phone call are the order of the day. WooHoo.

*phocque background —
Recently, during the Canadian elections, the Prime Minister [Stephen Harper] made huge cuts in the Arts funding.

From a popular band, Beau Dommage, Michel Rivard, made a video of a chap going cap on hand to the government asking for a grant…
‘Did someone say fuck?’
‘Non, le phocque’.
‘Who said fuck?’

I had exactly the same thought listening to the beginning as the staff person hands her the phone. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out they were in on it.

I too, could not listen to the whole thing. It was just too embarrassing. What a first class idiot. How on earth did this woman ever get to this point. She is a reject from a tv reality show–Who’s My Vice President!

Dear Me. This is unbelievable.

Several excellent french speakers translate on DailyKos comments. Really embarrassing for the Republican Party and the US. Get the hook and get these idiots out of our lives. I’m not gonna make it to Tuesday. Thank goodness I’ve already voted.

OMG! I can’t wait to read all the comments. I think my brain just exploded. There is soooo much I want to say…SCREAM…but I am just completely flummoxed, speechless and having difficulty breathing. I think my brain has finally been blown to bits.

I mean, HEEEEELLLLLLOOOOOOO, Nicholas! I mean, she sounds soooo flattered that HE would be calling her. It’s difficult to imagine that it didn’t occur to her to clear this high-level communication with the President of France with anyone. OMG, how stupid is that?! And as far as the whole conversation is concerned, I just can’t even begin to…I can’t think straight…what a dunce.

Tuned in late…outside most of the day and then our cable went flooey for a while.

You literally cannot make these things up. Can any more bizarre things happen in the next few days? *shakes head, hands still on head*

I wouldn’t think you could get her phone number, cell phone no less, I thought that was hard to do. Guess not.

The Palin campaign has already issued an official response, so it’s looking true.

Oh. My. God. I just sent my sis a desperate email a short while ago –

“OMG… I just got back from Bemidji a bit ago, unloaded stuff into the house, got ready to make some coffee, and Jim pulled up. He’s the old man who owns the property across the street and the little sliver with my greenhouse trailer on it. We enjoy talking when he stops by now and then -until today. He’s the ultimate, dyed-in-the-wool, cool-aid-drenched Palin groupie and has every bit of Republican propaganda down pat and memorized verbatim AND he spouts it off like a recording. I think I’m gonna be sick. Am slurping peaches out of the can as fast as I can gobble, in lieu of chocolate, not that it’ll help much. I need a mental shower (disinfection hoch drei at least) SO badly.

I’ve read about it, but I really didn’t imagine that I of all people would ever to have to listen to this kind of crap in person.

YUCK!!!!!”

– and come on here to find THIS!!! The competent Palin with all her experience, the best of the best for the ticket, SCREWING UP BEYOND BELIEF.

Thanks, AKM. When I get done laughing my arse off and crying like a madwoman, I’ll have me a little nervous breakdown for a while.

What a freak show! That woman canNOT be for real. No way, no how, her planet must have exploded and she’s the only life form that survived somehow, sort of.

wonder if CM got the video link from me.. i called NBC in DC and left him email..🙂 Ilive outside of DC and have done work at NBC a long time ago..

The assistant editor i talked to hadn’t heard about the barbie video when i called, so maybe we get credit.. told him to find the link on mudflats of course!!

Okay…my thoughts are beginning to sort themselves out finally. And, I have to say, Palin’s response on this one is priceless:

“FNS: Yes, yes, I understand, we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France, it’s called, “Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit, oui.”
SP: Right. That’s what it’s all about, is the middle class, and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.”

It is really comforting to hear that she thinks France’s socialism is a good example for America. Of course, she could just look to Alaska for that.

1112008

Marty (VA) Hussein McLoser Songbird(15:23:25) :

For those who think we were punked, i don’t think so.. listen to the conversation and it’s clearly Barbie.. She talks with barbieisms, and says things only barbie will say.. it was sorta funny when she addressed who she thought was the president of France and she called him Nicholas.. That was totally amazing.. Even Bush would address him as President Sarkozy..

The shooting from helicopters and the forced laugh, she missed the ‘my wife is great in bed’ line or ignored it.. But all in all, she fried herself on that one.. i was really hoping he’d have gotten her to say something really, REALLY bad.. too bad..

1112008

portland oregon native(15:23:46) :

It is the real deal. The Palin spokes people admitted to it all and then said, “C’est la vie.”

Dang! So interesting. I was talking to a friend the other day, who is a supervisor of a bunch of convenience stores. One of his employees had been flim flammed out of $475. because she believed the person on the other end of the phone.

I was a legal secretary (a LONG time ago), but my old attorney drummed it into my head, don’t ever believe that the person on the other end of the phone is who they say they are. Too bad for Sarah (and the convenience store employee) that she didn’t learn this lesson from Mr. Mac.

Shikago – sitting here in the UK, trawling the web, laughing like a drain!!!

O really does know that if you give them enough rope they hang themselves!

This has gone so viral, every time I hear a comment from a different poster with a cracking sense of humour I go into spasms of giggles.

Their phone call to President Jacques Chirac was voted one of the top 30 prank phone calls of all time – this one might come close.

“singer Stef Carse as Canada’s prime minister ?” Always glad to hear that someone running for Pres or VP in the US is completely oblivious as to who the heads of their two neighbouring countries are. Bush was ‘punked’ when one of our comedy shows told him when he was running in 2000 that Canadian Prime Minister “Putin” sent his best wishes and was hoping for him to win. Bush didn’t blink and said “tell him thanks”. Sarah better start studying a little harder. Lol.

Hey, does anyone out here have a link to the show that she did here in Alaska with some radio “shock jocks?” It was, I think, the beginning of the end for enlightened Alaskans, her being VERY juvenile and bitchy about Lyda Green. And so unprofessional you’d have though it was a 7th grader they were talking to.

I think it’s a nice karmic circle for Bible Spice, and I hope that Lyda Green has enjoyed it.

Anyway, would be great to get that recording out into the internet right now as a nice juxtaposition. Basically it shows that in spite of the trial by fire that she’s been undergoing she has always been, remains, will always be, a stupid ignorant biyatch.

For the person who asked Cassie Jeep Palin whether pins and t-shirts and other party or candidate-affiliated stuff could be worn inside the polling place, for NC voters the answer is YES. You can’t carry in and leave political ” propaganda” in the voting booths, nor can you hand out anything candidate or party related within 50 feet of the door of the polling place.
For us election officials, working at NC polling places ” no, we can’t! ” – DESPITE the fact that we do have and wear badges with our names which identify also us as Democratic or Republican Judges…

Jesus, even though I see someone mentioned Chris Matthews referenced it, I still want to think maybe some of it is faked? A few times it really didn’t sound alot like Palin. Maybe it was dubbed in, some of it? Jesus.

Always knew I loved Canada!!!! I don’t think caller ID works on international calls – it for sure doesn’t when my relatives in Sweden call the US, all we get is “unknown name, unknown number.” Maybe it’s different with Canada, don’t know – no relatives there. The assistant sounds a little flustered to have Sarkozy’s assistant on the line.

My favorite part is almost the very end, where you get his confused, agitated mumbling (that’s what sold me on it being real) and then the assistant gets on and says she has to hang up now. Why they don’t just hang up, I have no idea. I think she didn’t understand a lot of what he was saying and was just nodding and going along – truly terrifying if Putin were ever to call her:
“oh, yes, Vlad, you wanted to annex Alaska and Canada,” giggle, giggle. Long pause as Piper whispers in her ear. “Oh, you were saying you wanted the recipe to that baked Alaska you had in Canada. Oops, silly me.” Giggle, giggle. Popping gum sound. “Now which button controls those nukie nukes, better recall them. Uh, John….”

The press release from the station is already out in Germany, Italy and of course France. Talk about the global impact of of stupidity linked with blind ambition just in time to make all the Sunday papers, morning talk shows and hopefully SNL.

Happy to be from Canada and see that some of our guys could help you out.

When I first heard this, it was without the transcript and I thought to myself, “Did they just say “Nailin’ Palin and did she just agree?”

They took the video down. We need another source. I wonder if it was too much traffic or a McCain campaign member who made it go bye bye?

I know!! She doesn’t even listen. I loved how she played right into their hands from start to finish, right down to asking them for a station I.D. at the end of the piece. Unreal! I’m going to send those DJs a fan letter.

I really think strongly that with this opportunity — the radio prank — that the story about her behavior on the local radio shock jock show needs to get more air time. It was horrible, offensive, unprofessional, etc etc., and hopefully would make plenty of cancer-survivors who are riding the fence think that she’s not worthy of their vote!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t imagine it, It just scares the poop out of me!

Do you think they told her the Prime Minister of Canada was on a need to know basis and she just did not need to know?

Mind boggling!

Best part was the end when they tell her that it is a prank and you can here her drop the phone and chew out her asst. She can’t even make sure the damn phone is off first! OMG

I think a lot of us had the same reaction you did. I know I kept thinking how much the voice really sounded like Palin’s and thought that whoever put this together did a really good job. I kept thinking…Wow, this is a really well done fake voice-over or some professional Palin impostor. Then the more you listen, the horror of reality sets in, and you are horrified because it is real…it really is her…and she really is “stupider” than you could possibly imagine. Admitting an unpleasant truth is always difficult.

I just wish she had thought to question some of their comments early in the conversation like Biden did the other day. You know…maybe ask, “Is this a joke?…I mean, are you joking?”

Nebraska Native AKA Sista Froth Hussein (16:21:20) :

Melissa (16:16:15) : I believe you, what I don’t believe is she thinks a head of state is going to call a vp candidate to “chat” on a Saturday afternoon. She’s getting a little heady from what she assumes her exalted position affords her in terms of international contacts.
—————————————

This is precisely the point. No serious person in politics as a Vice Presidential Candidate would EVER take a call from another Head of State without clearing it through the Presidential Candidate WELL IN ADVANCE. EVER. If taking a personal call was approved there would be a review of what to say on U.S. policy issues and how to spin it if any gray areas came up. If any person here on Mudflats was a V.P. Candidate I am sure they would want a briefing on the Head of State they were talking with well in advance. I know I would. Is she crazy?

So Bill Kristol and Dick Morris should now be a laughingstock for launching her career in national politics. They should be completely discredited in any national news media appearances. This should be brought up in every TB appearance for the next ten years. These men should be ridiculed mercilessly for what they did to their country.

In all seriousness, if I was Todd Palin I would be absolutely furious. The Republican Party has made a complete laughing stock of my wife. I’d have her communications person’s head on a platter. I’d even be going to see McGramps past the Secret Service packing heat to have a very serious conversation. I’d be going home with her tomorrow night saying f**k the Election. To hell with everyone. “Nail’in Palin” said in public would be the final straw. I am serious. I would call it all off tomorrow as her husband.

I have to agree with you on that one, if she couldn’t tell it was a joke from the start then she either 1) just woke up, 2) just smoked something really good, or 3) she really is brain dead.

GROSSE POINTE FARMS, MICH. — A suburban Detroit woman has decided to scare up the vote among neighborhood children by just offering treats to John McCain supporters.

Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., handed out candy Friday only to those who shared her support for the Republican presidential candidate and his running mate Sarah Palin. Others were turned away empty-handed.

TV station WJBK says a sign outside Nagel’s house warned: “No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters.” Nagel calls Democrat Barack Obama “scary.” When asked about children who were turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: “Oh well. Everybody has a choice.” Fax and phone messages left at numbers for Nagel were not returned.

I agree. I think the religious right (James Dobson, Franklin Graham, the Arlington Group, just to name a few) are powerful lobbyists who have their own agenda. They are the Pharisees, the Spanish Inquisitors, the Hitlers of this day and age. And we have to defang and destroy their power. They can believe whatever they wish, but they can not be allowed to punish, impugn or take away my rights (or anyone else’s). They are dangerous to all of us who believe in freedom of religion.

In French he says “du rouge à lèvre sur une cochonne”, literally ‘lipstick on a sow’, but ‘cochonne’ also means a woman who likes sex and is hot in bed.

Earlier, when he first talks about going hunting, he says “on pourrait tuer des bébés phoques aussi, “we could also kill some baby seals”.

I have to agree with you on that one, if she couldn’t tell it was a joke from the start then she either 1) just woke up, 2) just smoked something really good, or 3) she really is brain dead.

Come on now, the guy mentioned his wife being hot in bed, hunting with Cheney, “nailin’ Palin”, being able to see another country out his window, and having her take him aerial hunting. How many “clues” does BimboBush need?

JT, that was my reaction as well. There’s no excuse for Palin’s ownership of this fiasco. Well, of course, her staff should have done a better job of fielding this call and you would think that this call would have been coordinated with McCain or someone high up in the chain of command. But I think she actually was so flattered by the thought of it that she just couldn’t get over herself. She even seemed a little put out that President Sarkozy was not on the phone first when she picked up. What got me was just how flirtatious Palin sounded…quite the little couquet she is…you know, maybe they could mix business with pleasure, so to speak…what in the world! But, let’s not blame Betsy or whoever she is. (At first I thought she said her name was Bitzy. Didn’t she have a cutesy little voice, too? I was thinking that Bitzy sounds like something you would name a moose and that maybe she should make up a name that sounds a little more professional.)

Anyway, whatever credibility Palin may have had before this as a formidable candidate for any national office, she sadly has lost as far as I’m concerned. And anyone who continues to profess that she is qualified to serve as VP or, God help us, President, should be discounted as a rational person.

And, yes, I do feel a little bad about making fun of the misfortune of another. When the funny part wears off, this incident will be more of an embarrassment than anything else.

The Jane Mayer piece above really lays it all at the feet of Kristol, Barnes, and the other right wing nuts who cruised through Alaska in summer 2007…

Yes, Dobson had something to do with it, true. But it seems Kristol hadn’t heard much about her until last year…and he started lobbying for her to be VP. The article traces how he lobbied for her (as did Barnes).

More on Johnny Hallyday (sorry, I’ve misspelled his name all day), from Wikipedia:

“He has had a 48-year career in music and is one of France’s biggest stars. He has completed 400 tours, had 18 platinum albums, performed in front of 15 million people, and sold 100 million records. Today Hallyday is still seen as a top stage performer, giving first class shows in crowded stadiums. Hallyday announced his retirement from performing on 3 December 2007 at the age of 64[2], after his last tour, scheduled in 2009-2010.”

Aussie – she may feel a bit insulted but the French people will let out a big sigh of relief when Sarah Palin is shipped back to Alaska. Besides, Mrs. Sarkozy is so much more of a babe than Sarah Palin ever will be, plus… plus, Mrs. Sarkozy probably pays for her own clothes.

Maybe we could do a top 10 list of how Mrs. Sarkozy would make a better VP than Sarah Palin… eh?

YES! She is so vindictive! And I only know this from watching her during this campaign! Remember when someone (was it on CNN?) who read comments that were negative, from the right, to her? And she said, “Who said that?” and then she asked it again! She wanted to punish them or get Bill Kristol or Fred Barnes or someone else in the neocon press mafia on it.

For a nano-sceond I even felt sorry for her, but that feeling went away when Bible Spice could clearly be heard saying at the end of the call, “for Chrissakes” twice. Wonder what Rev Muffee would think of that?!

And I can’t help but sit here and think: She actually thought the President of France was calling her to shoot the sh*t?

It saddens me that we are here in 2008 still discussing if gay people should have the same rights as other people. In California we will be voting on Prop 8, which would overturn the right of gay people to get married. This kind of proposition should, in this millennium, not even be discussed. Everybody should have the right to marry whoever they want. We should not discriminate against any race, religion, or sexual orientation. By doing so, we have proven that there is no equality under the law in California – for anyone.

About the only way I see that they can spin this sucker is to say that it puts in the company of foreign leaders — QE II, Chirac, etc. They’ll try, but I’m not sure it’ll fly except with her base, and they think she’s just short of the Second Coming.

I am watching the MSNBC recap — altho it brings up some painful moments ~~~ I am in tears watching the unity and passion of the Dem’s. Despite the bitterness in the primary – this party has unified and is ready to fight

So many – that have already suffered & sacrificed during the Bush years – are willing to “keep going” and give what we can to get this nation back on track.

How far, those who have supported Barack Obama have come from the steps in Springfield. or during the primary debates, or whereever it was when they heard his voice, and realized it was “our voice”. It is unbelievable – fantastic – awesome – and when the votes are counted on Tues. giving us the next leader of the the Free World – President Barack Obama – it won’t be “the end” – it will be the beginning.

We know it will be hard – we know that the promises made during the last 22 months will not be activated in the first 100, 200 or even 300 days. We know there will be compromises – and disappointments – and even anger. But we WILL stay unified – supporting our President and each other as we shift America’s future from Bush & Co “doctrine” – undermining this countrys Constitution and respect across the world.

Thanks Mudflats – for keeping me sane, and focused.
Thank you Mudpuppies – for your support
the tears and the laughs and the unbelievable comments

Affleck is simply horrible. And so far, the skits are too long, boring, unfunny, and ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz……..

I spent the entire day at the local Obama headquarters phone banking… We were calling North Carolina. I called about 200 people today.. it was pretty rewarding..

Best call of the day was to a little old lady who told me she registered to vote for the very first time in her life, and voted for Barack.

Out of 200 calls made, only one told me they were voting for McGrumpy. I told her I would really like to change her mind if she was willing to talk to me. She said her mind was made up. I could not resist telling her that out of 200 calls, she was the only one with that opinion, but to have a nice day!

It was very satisfying to be a part of the process, and working along side of other folks today was rewarding. We had probably 200+ people calling today. So many that folks poured out into the parking lot and walkways and stairwells to make calls.

2 days and 18 hours to go.

I went searching to see where Palin would be campaigning next – after the news was out. She was in Raleigh NC (I think it was) Anyway caught the end of her speech on cnn live. I just wanted to see how she looked – couldn’t tell much by her manner except that she looked tired and skinny also. also the stage wasn’t crowded like it usually is. Think it was Todd standing way over one edge and another dude on the other corner also. This was such a major gaffe that even someone as narcissistic as she have to realize it. I would want to crawl in a hole and come out in ten years -maybe.
CNN is putting a low profile on palin phone call and more emphasis on Obama’s aunt on website.

Rob in Santa Cruz, Ca(20:40:11) :

Well, seems I kind of took a beating for predicting that Sarah will not really suffer much from this…fortunately, it was a gentle beating and for that I thank those who responded…
Gotta admit, this is funny beyond belief. We all like to think we would not have been caught in this.
I still believe that at this point, it is all about Obama and McCain for the next 72 hours, as far as the voting goes. Nothing Palin or Biden could do is likely to affect the outcome now.
But we ( Mudflatters and our brethren) can all rest easy knowing deep down that what we have thought all along is indeed true. Sarah is as far out of her league as she appears: a so-so mayor running for almost president. Her lack of acumen is apparent in the prank call as so many have pointed out…even if you allow for her possibly assuming she could not hear clearly what was said. Frankly, I was struck at the very beginning by ‘this is Sarah’…as if that would be how you would respond to a foreign head of state even if you were the President.
But I still think this will not have much impact, and I will gladly read each conflicting opinion (and will possibly eat my words tomorrow as I peruse the news sites..), but I will also say this is the most entertaining event, and the purest, most carefree laugh, I have experienced in many a day…and I leave you all with the most heartfelt prayer that Tuesday will bring us the result we have prayed and hoped for.

Your comment is not constructive and it is pretty insulting. I am a highly educated woman that can obviously read. I do not consider myself nor many people victims. It is your divisive and dismissive attitude, which you seem to share with other conservatives, that makes it impossible for anything to move forward in this country. There are pretty unsavory relationships with the GOP ticket candidates and I highly doubt the intellectual capabilities of the VP on your ticket. I would just ask you, of all of the candidates, which ones were investigated on ethics charges? If you are as intelligent and as literate as you hope others to be, you should know the answer. Please try to argue your points on logic and ideas instead of just repeating character attacks. No one wants to vote for the GOP this year because there are no ideas, just accusations. I wish you the best.

Anyone who listens to that tape would instantly recognise the voice as NOT being that of Sarkozy – but of course Palin, blinded by her own vanity, doesn’t seem to mind.

But let’s give her a break – she doesn’t read newspapers or watch the news, so what do you expect?

BS (18:08:27) :

Hamlet – that Hallyday dude is hot! I’ve never heard of him, is he big time in France/Canada?
————————————————–

A very close friend of mine was very tight with Bryan Ferry at one point in her life. Bryan Ferry is really the “Paul McCartney” of England who has been steadily selling records for years and decades with a devoted following there.

I have always thought of Johnny Hallyday as the Brian Ferry of France. But some would even call him the Elvis Presley of France because he has been a well known national figure there since his first album which I think was in 1960. As they say he is probably “the most famous rock star you never heard of”. Well, thanks to Ice Floe Barbie, his career just got some new fans!

As to your remark, “that Hallyday dude is hot”…hummm…I guess I myself was a “hot dude” back in the day. I had my own band pre-Britsh Invasion. I actually met Bill Haley of “Bill Haley and the Comets” face to face when he played at my high school somewhere around 1963 or 1964 and shook hands with him!

Yes, “Rock Around the Clock” (1955) was a bit before my time. But check out their chops in this above footage! “Rock Around the Clock” was the first TRUE WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL “Rock and Roll” hit! It was a portend of things to come. Clapton and everybody else started on learning these chops from records that eventually led to this:

Of course, that was all out ahead in the shape of things to come in the movable fret board blues boxes and power chords of rock and roll in the flow of the 20th Century on the evening I shook hands with Bill Haley at my high school as he came off the stage in our auditorium to thunderous applause that night soaked in sweat. i was on the stage crew and helped him find his guitar case to immediately put his guitar away. I don’t remember what kind of guitar it was. But I do remember that it was red.

Of course, most people today do not know this now but the first TRUE WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL Rock and Roll hit “Rock Around the Clock” happened because a man named Charles Wolcott, who was the Musical Director at MGM in 1955, needed an opening credits song for a film that came out in 1956 called “Blackboard Jungle”.

Jean-Philippe Smet (Johnny Hallyday), just like Lennon, McCartney, Clapton, Richards, McCullough, Van Morrison and many, many others got their start as teenagers buying Bill Haleys hit record “Rock Around the Clock” and stealing chops. The rest is history.

Of course, maybe Sarah could not hear on the phone Saturday, but she missed a whole universe of cultural references by not picking up on the “Johnny Hallyday” reference. For instance If she knew the history of Rock and Roll and consequently perhaps something more about the life of Charles Wolcott, she would also have some other much more useful cosmic and esoteric knowledge about what she might have faced if elected Vice President of the United States. But, alas, it all went over her head and will now pass into history come Wednesday morning.

Bill Haley went on to a very sad and difficult end many years later. I say it was brain cancer and not alcoholism at all that caused his unfortunate behavior at the end of his life. He was a very cheerful and happy man that night as he grinned and shook my hand after we got his guitar safely into it’s case.

So, yes, Johnny Hallyday has been “Big Time” in France for almost 50 years now! And I was once a “hot dude” myself back in my Rock and Roll youth! (Only Johnny is a little later in the 60’s look in that link)

Once my band played a student dance in a gym at a rival high school. Our drummer was a black guy who was from a poor family. He broke a drum head and could not afford to buy a new one. Our band was not making any money yet. So he took a piece of cardboard from a shipping box and cut out a big round piece to fill in the side of the drum to the audience. He wrapped it in a bed sheet to make it look nice. He put glittery cut out letters of the name of our band on it too. Since it was a Christmas dance he put a string of Christmas tree lights around the whole drum. It looked real nice on stage. We had little uniforms like the guys in that “Bill Haley and the Comets” footage. We looked like “Gerry and the Pacemakers” and we did play “Ferry Cross the Mersey”. We started with a nice slow dance “What’s Your Name?” by Don & Juan as I recall. Then we moved into some Chuck Berry. We had everybody out on the gym floor dancing at that point when things really went to a whole new level. It was an omen of the shape of things to come in Rock and Roll as the 60’s unfolded. For one brief moment in time my band was cutting edge in the entire Universe! At that point in our performance the drum set caught on fire from the sheet and a short in the Christmas lights! Flames shot up as our drummer kept the beat. “Wow!” someone said as several people ran and got water in cups and doused it. “Way cool!” Four years later when bands were no longer wearing little uniforms and Jimi Hendrix set his guitar on fire at Monterey Pop the world had changed. But we got there first!

Thanks for the post. I’m headed to the Obama center tomorrow and Monday to help out. We still gotta knock on some doors and make calls. In the meantime, this is great stuff and I’m passing it on… Wow. Bible spice, what happened?

ellen(02:03:54) :

So painful to listen to, so sad.

What we heard was an ill-educated, clueless woman who does not even know how to properly speak and behave, a woman who might be our next president — if McCain were elected and she had to step in.

To be honest, I feel sorry that she has been put in the position of running for VP. She is waaaay over her head and abilities. That she is where she is speaks volumes about the state of the GOP. It sure it not pretty.

I watched the whole thing, and you’re right – most of the time I had my hand over my mouth. I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing. It wasn’t even that she missed the references (I didn’t recognize some of the names either), but it was the giggling that was just too astounding to listen to.

Well, the hunting conversation was . . . what was that! And no clue when the fake said his wife was hot in bed? Surely even Palin would know that a head of state wouldn’t say that. Apparently not.

I told my hubby he should listen, but he didn’t hear all of it, just what was on the news. And he was willing to give her a pass on this one: “end of campaigning”, “couldn’t hear well” (that’s why you ask someone to repeat), “assumed that it was OK because an aide handed her the phone” (don’t they do more to check these phone calls out?).

Anyway, no pass from me. She just proved that she’s the idiot we all thought she was, and now the whole world can hear it for themselves. That’s the part that I think is sad – her stupidity as a candidate makes the rest of us look foolish by association – even when we aren’t really associated at all.

The Belgian government strongly protested to the McCain campaign
when informed that US gov Sarah Palin had agreed with President Sarkozy
when he stated that
“from my ass I can see Belgium”.

Even though the McCain campaign has not commented on this significant issue,
anyone who agrees with the statement that
“Belgium can be seen from someone’s ass”
should be institutionalized or given immediate psychiatric care.

I can’t be the only one that heard Palin say maybe she’d be ready to be President in 8 years? Let’s see McCain has said he’s only running for 4 years and Obama is a 2 term guy for sure… did she just concede the election? Or is she just still really dumb? I’m going with both.😉

I no fan of Sarah Palin. Clearly, she deserves criticism and even ridicule for jumping into the deep end of the pool before learning to swim, but this prank was vicious and reprehensible.

That’s so funny! This is why I don’t understand why anyone would vote for her! She’s so gullible, and this is not the kind of vice president America needs. I love the part where he makes fun of her loving to kill and cause harm to animals. Is this what America needs? Taking life, and she laughs about it? Strange!

In the interest of public safety, all Paliens are hereby and at all times required to wear helmets. Foil hats may still be worn, but must be accompanied by a certified, mandatory helmet. Hockey helmets approved.

I wish we could take this seriously. I mean, I have a sense of humor, but this election is something we all need to buckle down on man. I mean, how many of you can read both candidates actual plans for taxation, foreign affairs… how many of you have been to the website, or neutral news sources to really find out about what these pairs represent.

Yes, I’m a BO supporter and wish we could hold our head above the crap that many of their supporters blogs are engaging in…

Palin is Special no doubt? LOL And so professional I might add.
One would think considering she lives next door, she would at least know that much.
LMAO They should have asked her if she knew where Canada was. I have to wonder if she knows?

I, and many others, wholly agree with you. But one last question remains, have you heard this new prank thing they pulled on Palin????

(Naive, sure. My buddies and I don’t make amends for that, for what are better known as “A-holes.” In the taxonomy of a-holedom, these are not a-holes of the dick variety, but of the toolshed category. This is just too good. While I think her stupidity (“naivete”) is representative of her collective political views, they should have picked a smarter candidate to counteract what is now a universal perception with regard to conservatives. There are incredibly smart conservatives out there, it is simply sad that the GOP has opted for the Palin future instead.

Somebody mentioned about 500 comments ago about “foreign interference” with the campaign. I just want to leave it on the record here that both parties receive financing from multinational corporations, whose shareholders elect the officers who decide who the corporation will endorse, and these shareholders are from all over the world. Plus, the U.S. funds elections all over the world. When one candidate is against allowing foreign businesses to come and underpay workers and pollute and stuff, the U.S. funds their opponent, often through seemingly charitable programs like USAid.

Oh. PS. Do please send a copy of this to veteran news anchor Dan Rather.

Will you do that for me? (He’ll understand. Trust me!)

Sarah was her in Lakeland. fl today and all of the signs behind her while she made her speach only had her name and not John McCain. I have never heard of something like that. I thought that was a bit interesting.

Interesting to me, too. Maybe by promoting Palin more prominently, the McCain campaign has chosen to exploit the xenophobia SP spews, in areas of Florida, like a conscious effort to promote racism? Just sayin’

2112008

Katie(19:22:44) :

in responce to prettybrown I saw a hugh sign that said Pail in Honesdale, Pa. Made me laugh. Didn’t know she was the candidate for president.

As far as the prank goes…geeze what can we say. Firstly who in their right mind, especially runnning for political office talks to anyone they don’t know on the phone. For that matter who do you or I know who would talk like this to strangers without first checking them out. Don’t Sarahs ‘handlers’ know how to take a message for call back, check out the people calling before handing her the phone. Ditzy people handling an equally ditzy candidate. Guess you get what your deserve.

A serious thought…sad to think that people outside of our own country consider her a joke. Imagine the respect she would recieve if her party won the election. (says me – clutching my rosary beads and praying for Democrats! )

Is this true? It took me so much time to believe but it gave me so much laugh though, I can’t believe she got punk’d by caller whom she believes as the French President Nicolas Sarkozy, I wonder what this president feels right now. Hey, did they ever discover who is beyond that call? Now after that, will she be the next vice president? What an embarrassment for her. But in the serious side, this thing for sure will go back to BO again. No matter what we do, if BO wins, he will win without these things.

This is so funny when I heard this. First of all I thought this was fake but it turned out to be real and im sure Sarah Palin is a bit embarrassed. lol

The level of unprofessionalism with regard to her staff is astounding. What, not even a “One moment please…” and putting the caller on hold while you check it out?! Sarah and her assistants were talking over the handset and phone was sloppily handed off like they were at home in the kitchen!! I almost expected to hear a “Hey, SARAAAH! It’s for YOOOUU!”

I mean, really…We had a more professional demenor when I worked at a small hip shop selling trendy/alternative club clothes! And now, 10 years later, as I work in a office/admin environment, it is furtherly disturbing that the campaign for Highest (and Second Highest) Office in the Land is being run this way!

And I didn’t even go on about the atrociousness of the actual content of her conversation or hideously blown out of proportion ego!

Please do consider what it says, however, about the PRANKSTERS. In a democracy we are all participants, and we are all responsible. Palin and her telephone screener are human beings.

What does it say about the “entertainers” who abuse trust by pulling these stunts in the first place?

Don’t they have responsibilities as citizens to work toward a common good? What good was served by this? How did they get her number? Does anyone think that something comparable would happen in the actual White House which has a profession telephone staff charged with handling such things and weeding out false calls?

Palin isn’t vice president yet, and does not have Barack’s 600 million dollars at her disposal for staff. All she has right now is her honest.

THINK ABOUT IT.

In a democracy, you cannot pass the buck. “We the people,” is how it’s written in the US — don’t know about Canada. But in this country, the buck really stops WITH ITS CITIZENS and their responsibilities.

Our Canadian politicians are used to this sort of thing on a pretty much regular basis, it just goes with the territory and they’re prepared for it. Anybody ever heard of Rick Mercer, if not check out some of what he’s pulled. Doesn’t anyone screen her incoming phone calls and check references?

You can only fool a fool, so what does that make Shara Palin. I’m amazed at how two Canadian comedians could outwit the possible future Commander in chief of the most powerful nation on earth. CANADA ROCKS.

The pranksters left a cell phone call back at 1-514, which any moron can trace back to Montreal on 411.com reverse look up. Someone did NOT do their work around Palin, and fed her to the lions.

It’s a darn sight more rational than the lunacy of voting for a man with no resume, a posse of weird connections, who says a “light will come down from somewhere, and will shine upon you, and you will have an epiphany, and you’ll hear a voice telling you ‘I must vote for Barack Obama.'”

He actually said that, or didn’t you know? So you’ll vote for a raving lunatic over an American veteran who put his life on the line for his fellow soldiers and his VICE presidential candidate who was simply fooled as any human being might be fooled.

Obama didn’t know that Bill Ayers was a terrorist … yet he’s gonna “get” bin Laden — who is probably also just teaching English somewhere in Chicago.

How duped you are! While you’re getting all indignant about Sarah Palin, you are about to fall for the biggest deception in American history.

Sarah Palin is so damn dumb to believe that any important world leaders would call her directly and not go through the McCain campaign. Thank God that after tomorrow we will not have to hear about her any more.

@Ann’s New Friend

Your last comment makes you sound like a “raving lunatic”… You really believe the things you stated?

Sounds like Palin knows she’s being messed with and is just trying to be polite.

(You know, the way Senator Obama flashes his middle finger to the camera when mentioning Hillary and McCain. We did the same kind of thing when we were, uh, 3rd graders.)

If Palin was rude or mean, you’d complain about that too.

Wow….they really got her… she needs to fire the staff person who gave her the phone saying it was the president. She trust their judgement so its not her fault … but …wow… thats a trip they talked that much with her

As far as I’m concerned, this was a fair response for Faux News having orchestrated an astroturf campaign against a CBC columnist, and actually inducing the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to change a policy, based on an American manufactured protest.

“Foreign interference in an American election?” Like the neo-Cons never send their operatives up here to interfere in our own affairs. Puh-leeze. Karma’s a bitch, ha!

I really feel the CIA should be filing a complaint with the Canadian government for this breach of security. How did the radio station obtain the phone number of the inner circle of the Palin campaign?

The French Canadian’s are very rude in general, but more so to Americans. This incident is not something for any American to take lightly. This is just another episode of the decline of civility that has been set in motion by the liberal mush minds of the world.

m l huston, Really? I’m finding that some of the discussion lately are only able to be responded to with ‘Really?’ CIA? How about the fact that Sarah Palin is stupid (yeah I said it) enough to believe that Frances President would actually call her? Really?

Although you are correct about the frightening aspect of our Nations Security with Sarah anywhere near the White House. As far as Civility goes, I’m pretty sure that went out the window when Republicans began comparing Barack’s trip to see his Grandmother, God rest her soul, to Sarah’s taxpayer paid shopping spree.

Blah, blah, blah? I’m pretty sure that was a McCain quote while stumping about Barack Obama and his crazy concern with making sure that Nuclear Power Plants were safe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB-jdJpvhxk and gets cheers by a bunch of idiots. Really?

Yeah we need not be concerned with Nuclear Contamination, we should be just like China and start poisoning everything we make… oh never mind we don’t make stuff anymore, we are a service based economy.

Obviously you are unaware of what your own candidate says. Obama said this:
“a light will shine down from somewhere, it will light upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will say to yourself, ‘I have to vote for Barack’”
